Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year.  I teach Science and AVID and I am also the Yearbook coordinator.   This will be my eighth year at DMS but my eleventh year teaching in Onslow County.  I look forward to teaching your child the seventh grade Science curriculum.   My classroom is always open to guest speakers that have worked in a field they feel would be interesting to students and aligned with our curriculum. Please contact me if you are interested in being a virtual guest speaker.   Although I do not teach Social Studies at DMS, I am certified and I do bring historical information into my science lessons as they are intertwined.   Finally, please note that email is the best way to contact me, but know that I will not respond while classes are in session.  All parent conferences will need to be set up by Mrs. Kellum in the front office.  Parents,these conferences can be virtual or in person.  Please note that 7th grade teachers will only be available during planning and conferences will not be held after 3 pm.    

My Bachelors of Art degree is from Aquinas College, Grand Rapids, Michigan.  I am certified in Secondary Education in History, Biology, and Middle School Social Studies and Science.
